The launch
ETHGas launched the Open Gas Initiative: a zero-code way for protocols to pay their users’ gas. The first cohort was EigenCloud, ether.fi, Pendle and Velvet Capital.
What we made
A 34-second film that opens where every onchain user has been: a 0.02 ETH gas fee, then “Transaction failed”. From that wall it turns. “But what if ETHGas held the solution?” A wireframe cube, a gasless swap, the three-step Gasless Flywheel (attract, encourage, reward), a 0.049 ETH rebate landing in a wallet, then the call to become an OG. Navy and bronze glass UI, slow light, nothing extra.
Why it worked
It sells the feeling before the product: ten seconds of pain, then relief, then a mechanism simple enough to fit in one ring. People quoted the post almost 287,000 times, many of them tagging protocols and calling on them to sponsor gas.
